What is the tension in each of the three ropes when Sophia, with a mass of 23.0 kg, is made to walk the plank and is 1.50 m from reaching the end of the plank? FIGURE P14.27arrow_forwardThree forces are exerted on the disk shown in Figure P12.71,and their magnitudes are F3 = 2F2 = 2F1. The disks outer rimhas radius R, and the inner rim has radius R/2. As shown in thefigure, F1 and F3 are tangent to the outer rim of the disk, and F2 is tangent to the inner rim. F3 is parallel to the x axis, F2 is parallel to the y axis, and F1 makes a 45 angle with the negative x axis.

- When a circus performer performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P12.37a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward force Fk on a hand as show n in Figure P12.37b. The force Fs, is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm for an athlete of weight 750 N. (b) Suppose a performer in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the performer?

There are four forces acting on the plate at different points. The rotational inertia of the plate is 24 kgm2. Is the plate in equilibrium?

- Why is the following situation impossible? A worker in a factory pulls a cabinet across the floor using a rope as shown in Figure P12.36a. The rope make an angle = 37.0 with the floor and is tied h1 = 10.0 cm from the bottom of the cabinet. The uniform rectangular cabinet has height = 100 cm and width w = 60.0 cm, and it weighs 400 N. The cabinet slides with constant speed when a force F = 300 N is applied through the rope. The worker tires of walking backward. He fastens the rope to a point on the cabinet h2 = 65.0 cm off the floor and lays the rope over his shoulder so that he can walk forward and pull as shown in Figure P12.36b. In this way, the rope again makes an angle of = 37.0 with the horizontal and again has a tension of 300 N. Using this technique, the worker is able to slide the cabinet over a long distance on the floor without tiring.

The quadriceps muscle (3) applies a force to the lower leg via a tendon (4) that is embedded with the kneecap (5). If the force applied by the muscle to the tendon is F 570 N, what is the force of the femur on the kneecap, if the leg is in equilibrium? A simplified model of the leg is shown next to the diagram. The leg bones are represented by two beams attached by a pin. The tendon is modelled by a rope and the kneecap acts like a pulley. The tendon above the kneecap makes an angle 8, = 38° with respect to the vertical, and the portion of the tendon below the kneecap makes an angle of 6₂ = 10° with respect to the vertical.
